Probably Purist on UV would be a safe bet, but non-purist is so fun with all these weapons!ĭo you have some experiences in harder megawads and higher difficulties? Do you stick only to UV/Purist? Is Black Metal/Nightmare/Realism viable only for doom2. On one hand, Realism would probably be impossible on the later maps with some nasty traps, Nightmare + Black Metal are out of the question because of increased enemy speed. You take only 50% more damage and enemies are easier to kill, plus you move faster.Īnd then, purist vs normal? I think Purist prevents monsters from leaping onto you and everything behaves like vanilla? Then definitely much easier.Īnyway, I wonder what's viable more or less for wads like Scythe. Not to mention, if enemies do respawn after 20 seconds it would be hands down the hardest possible thing.īlack Metal seems way easier than Nightmare. The information is taken from the Doom wiki.

I tried Nightmare for a second and increased speed of demons easily makes up for 700% less damage taken on paper (comparing to Realism), you just die so much faster. Here is a general guideline of the difficulty levels you should expect.

I'm trying to get into Scythe wad, and I'm thinking that desipte Realism Mode being the last choice, it isn't necessarily the hardest.
